Olivia, Wherefore Art Thou?

Someone recently commented on one of my pinterest posts, wondering why, exactly, Olivia Palermo was famous? Socialite, *reality tv* star... ack, fame, in a post-post-modern context, maybe it's not meant to make sense! I absolutely adore olivia's style, regardless of how it manifested itself into the public eye. Sleek, classic, preppy, edgy on occasion, hip... I could go on.

Tbh, I can't really appreciate her Mango ads, the art direction seems to have taken her & tried to apply the *model* sticker, sharpening the image, almost dehumanising her feminine features. Hogan, on the other hand, now there's a winner ..
